MUSICAL THEATER Summer 2025

Audition Material for Wizard of Oz

Choose a song from the three listed below. You do not have to memorize this song for the audition. Somewhere Over the Rainbow can be sung in a lower or higher key as listed. Just choose which one feels most comfortable to you!

During the audition, you will sing privately. We will record your vocal audition so we can review once everyone has completed their audition. After everyone has sung, you will read lines for various characters. You will also learn a short movement/dance combination.

There are many parts in this show, so you will be considered for all parts regardless of what you choose to sing!

Dorothy:

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high, there's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me,

where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly, birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow why, oh why can't I.

SCARECROW:I could while away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain
And my head, I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain
I'd unravel every riddle
For any individ'le
In trouble or in pain

DOROTHY:With the thoughts you'd be thinkin'
You could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain

S: Oh, I could tell you why
The ocean's near the shore

D: You could think of things you never thunk before

S:And then I'd sit and think some more
D:You would not be just a nuffin'
S:My head all full of stuffin'
D: Your heart all full of pain
S:Then perhaps I'd deserve ya
And be even worthy of ya
If I only had a brain

Lion:

If I were King of the Forest, Not queen, not duke, not prince.
My regal robes of the forest, would be satin, not cotton, not chintz.
I'd command each thing, be it fish or fowl.
With a woof and a woof and a royal growl - woof.
As I'd click my heel, all the trees would kneel.
And the mountains bow and the bulls kowtow.
And the sparrow would take wing - If I - If I - were King!
